And we’re off….

I finished the neckline on the Blue Sky Cropped Turtleneck, and heaved a big sigh of relief.  It looks like I will have enough yarn left to do an acceptable amount of ribbing at the bottom of the sweater.  There is a little over a skein and a half and the neckline took a smidge over a skein but less than a skein and a quarter.  The bottoms is 25 % wider than the neckline, but does not need to be nearly as deep.  I think I will have an acceptable amount of ribbing at the bottom.  I will seam the sweater with a different yarn though just to conserve what yardage I do have.

This is a good point at which to leave the sweater.  I have enough done that I am confident about being able to finish and it will not take long.  A preliminary try-on looks good as well.

Next up travel knitting.  

I may not be posting on the trip.  I gave up my mobile broadband service when I no longer needed to stay in touch with an office while I was away.  Besides, this is our first trip in 10 months.  DSD may have a wireless network at her house, in which case I may be able to connect.  But I already know that at the end of a day with my darling two year old grandson there is not  a lot of energy left.

See you again in mid March.
